Dad:

I can not begin to tell you how much we all miss you.

It has been a difficult year to say the least.

Tyler, Julia, and Billy are growing up so fast (it is amazing) !

Know that you are in my thoughts each and every day.

Life Is Not Fair.

Love, Your Sonny Boy
HARLEY

This is not an easy deer season to get through...I cannot even begin to describe all the times Iv'e shared with Bill. To this day I still find it hard to believe that I'll only be able to speak of such times in the past tense. To me there isn't even a deer season this year, I can't imagine going into the woods without him out there somewhere, his tell-tale duckwalk footprints in the snow proving he beat me to "the spot". He was there early on to welcome (or initiate) me to the neighborhood, he was there for the birth of my kids, introduced me to trout and salmon fishing, he was undoubtedly my number one supporter of my taxidermy work in those early days, and right on through, there wasn't a display show that you couldn't find Bill helping me with. Some of my best personal friends to this day are the result of introductions through Bill. Bill, Rick Blodgett and I were too often described kiddingly (I think) by Kathy as the "DQ's" (I can't say the words in here) and to my kids, Bill was referred to as "Uncle Trouble". He was always there, with a calloused hand to help you with about anything, be it a spare tire, an alternator, or a ride home after hitting a deer on the thruway. I knew he was very thankful for his understanding wife, as well as proud of his daughters and son. Later he was just as proud of the grandchildren. He and I measured many deer antlers together, which pretty much meant getting the scowl for letting the cable slip, or forgetting to do the addition in 1/8's. If you could pick any interest, Bill either had once or was currently participating in it, or at the very least, knew someone that did. He loved watching Harley excell in football, his daughters babysat my kids and he loved how he could get all of our wives to "yell" at him as much as his did! I know he took great pleasure in slipping through Bill Woityra's woods looking for shed antlers, or through Rick or my "sweet spots", he also loved calling his good friend Jim Dombkowski "Homey" when he brought over deer to butcher, the descriptives could go on and on. The Luce boys, Jeff Smith, Jerry Tyler, Pat Schmitt, the Friedo's, the Daly's, all of the Fraser's, the Streb's, the list just goes on and on as well. I'm sorry to rattle on like this, I guess I'm still not ready to believe that I can no longer call over to the house, and not hear Bill's gravely voice over the phone, echoing off the walls of the kitchen...ok, or the bathroom. I still think I see the truck rolling up my driveway, it's going to take some more time, I guess. Hey what on earth do you say about a guy that's been such a part of your life, when he leaves it? I suppose most will say you just go on, and things have a way of healing. I don't know, this one's different. I think this time it will just leave a void, quite honestly. I just don't think anyone else could ever take his place. Bill was one of those. The empty deer season...

I am so sorry about the loss of Bill. I only knew Bill for a little over 5 years and had the chance to work with Bill at Genesee Speedway this past racing season. Bill will most definately be missed at the speedway as he stopped to talked with many of the racers over the course of the night.

I don't believe I have met your dad but being a member of the nys big buck club for ten years with this proud organization and familiar with many scorers and their dedication I know the type of man he was through the obits and notes. Carry on your dad's work as though he would want you too.You have my deepest sympathy and will always remember him as he perished on my birthday. I am 80 and looking for my replacement but they are very hard to find in these troubled times.
May God bless you and your family with health and wealth and good luck forever.

Mrs. Alhart, Harley, Laura & Mary Beth,
I was so sad to hear of Mr. Alhart's passing. My memories of freshman football games still include him standing next to the field on clear & crisp Saturday mornings, looking so proud of Harley and the rest of us boys. He will be missed. My mom, dad, and sister also share their condolences.

I met Bill some 25, or so years ago on the banks of Sandy creek.It was the first outing of a newly formed salmon fishing club, The TYEE DEEP TROLLERS.We hit it of right away.Always witty, blunt and to the point, he was fun to be around.We developed Quite a friendship over the years.We hunted,fished,gathered, and went on numerous "road trips"all over.Always there, if you need help doing what ever. Always looking for that special bargain!Or that something special on the curb.I'm really going to miss those Sunday evening cruises around the village of Spencerport, picking up those rare finds.My heart goes out to you Kathy,Harley,Laura,and Mary Beth.I thank God,we met on that creek bed.Like a brother he was!Till we meet again,on another stream, your buddy.

Bill,
You left us way too soon, but you have left us with fond memories of hunting together and great stories only you could tell. Thank you for being a great neighbor and "guide" for our sons while we lived in Churchville.

Bill and I met at LiDestri. He was my partner and my teacher. I think we got along so well because he called everything how seen it. If Bill was thinking it, you would hear it. Everyone who had the pleasure of meeting Bill knows thats truth. Bill you will be missed.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you all, and to let you know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. I will miss Mr. Alhart greatly. He was a great man and very proud of his family. It still seems like yesterday he was taking Harley and myself to football practice, & standing and watching us on the sidelines. He will still be watching all of us from above, smiling! I love you all & god bless.

Blessings and God's mercy be with you at this difficult time. I regret that I have lost touch with Bill and regret even more that we didn't have some time together.

It would appear that he had a multitude of friends and had become a very kind and loving person. Our loss is God's gain.

Please know that you are in our prayers and in our minds.

I have been friends with Bill for 25 years. Our paths cross every fall to enjoy a passion we both share. We talked for hours about the latest sightings and past stories. He was always quick to remind me of the big one I missed. He would look at me with that smile and belt out that strong laugh..He was a great man, I will truly miss him.

May Bill Alhart rest in peace, in the arms of Jesus and His Blessed Mother.
Having found myself there at the hour of his death, I was so scared and didn't know what to pray, so I kept just praying the Hail Mary and just kept repeating "Blessed Mother please stand along side him especially if this is the hour of his death and judgement' I had no idea who he was, if he was catholic or not, but just felt prompted to pray that until the ambulance arrived. Today when I saw his funeral mass was in a Catholic Church, I knew I had to write and let you know this...I hope you find comfort in this, that Bill was not alone, it was so quick that he couldn't have felt anything, and that God so loved your Bill, that he provided for someone to be there 'praying him home'

'Blessed are they that mourn for they will be comforted...you will be comforted, ask Her, trust Him.
